Sohee (Kim Si-Eun) is a high school student at a vocational school in Jeonju, South Korea. Initially excited to land an internship at a major internet provider’s call centre, the role turns out to be a daily nightmare where the young workforce are pushed to reach impossible targets and paid only a fraction of a normal wage.
